Snohomish River - Pinks and Coho

We have still been getting good reports out of the lower Snohomish River on the pink salmon the past couple of days, seems there are still a good number pushing into the river though the numbers which we are seeing in the salt have wained considerably the past few days. It's time for the pinks to decline in numbers and the silvers to increase. I spoke with a number of folks the past couple of days that had no problem in getting their pink limits out of the lower Snohomish the past few days fishing pink Marabou or pink squid jigs tipped with a small piece of shrimp. Some of the guys have been switching from the pinks to the coho and doing fairly well this week. Though not exactly hot yet many are managing in land up to 5 or 6 coho for a good days fishing. Most have been fishing Dick Nite Spoons.
